Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19740743C1] The amplifier includes a damping element (VA) and a coupling element (FK) via which a narrow band signal (LL) is fed back from the output to the input. The amplifier is provided in the form of a ring resonator and gain control is accomplished by the feed back. The amplifier element is connected in series with an optical circulator (OZ) and at least one narrow band reflector (FG) which reflects the narrow band signal. The circulator has a second output connected to the damping element for the narrow band signal, which is fed back to the input of the amplifier element.
